Paul Pogba will miss Sunday's game against Middlesbrough after the Manchester United midfielder picked up a hamstring injury against Rostov.

The £89million summer signing pulled up after attempting to launch a counter attack from a Rostov free-kick. He flicked the ball away from an opposition player before sprinting after it, only to suddenly stop in his tracks.

Pogba was replaced by Marouane Fellaini in the 48th minute, with the France midfielder unable to carry on.

He wrote in November 2016: 'Unfortunately tonight, we are without Paul Pogba and his natural replacement, Marouane Fellaini, who both picked up bookings on Sunday, but I have the players who can do the job despite those problems.'
